How can I Handle character 'a' and character 'A' in pretranslate Message
-
Hi,,,, I have one GUI i.e,SDI application which is inherited from Form view I want to add Key maaping to that GUI. For that when i press 'a' i have to focus on One button when i am press 'A' then i have to focus on another button. //There is a problem in KEYDOWN MessageMap related to my application. So,I use PreTranslate message to handle key events.but when i press 'a'it will treat that as 'A'. so,please help me in this Regard.

I think if u handle WM_CHAR instead of WM_KEYDOWN, you can identify 'a' and 'A'.

You may use
GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT)[^] to distinguish between lower case and upper case keys inPreTranslateMessage. :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.
This is going on my arrogant assumptions. You may have a superb reason why I'm completely wrong. -- Iain Clarke

Make a try before arguing ;P (i.e.
CAPS LOCKkey down makesGetKeyState(VK_SHIFT)returning the same value it returns wheneverSHIFTkey is held down) :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

But I tried now. GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT) is not giving the same value when shift key is down and when CAPS LOCK key is on. Did you actually check like this..?

Well, actually it is not the same value, but bit
0contains the meaningful info in both cases, henceGetKeyState(VK_SHIFT) & 0x0001should do the trick. :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

I dont think so. Cause the low bit indicates the key is toggled. Suppose the application is started and at that state if( GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT) & 0x0001) - > will return false. Then I press shift key and release it. After that if( GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT) & 0x0001) - > will return true. Then if i again press shift and release, if( GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT) & 0x0001) - > will return false. So basically, checking the 0 bit have no meaning in the case of shift key. 0th have use only in the case of toggle keys such as CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK etc...

Again, make a test. (I did). :)
